Mr. Rasmussen from Broken Arrow OK is requesting classroom basics through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Learning History With Visual Helps

Help me give my students more visual aids and a warmer environment in our classroom. I would love to provide more maps to allow students to better understand the landscape of American battles.

My Project

Our students respond best to visual aids during instruction. I would love to have maps of battlefields and be able to show the geographical differences in the country over the years that our content covers. I have also added expo markers to this list as I often have students write notes off of their individual reading on dry erase boards and then present to class. Expo markers are a heavy use item in my class. Coloring materials are useful for marking maps and other things for battlefields and other things. I also provide coloring sheets for students to complete during lecture times for those that need a little help focusing. We are a low income school and strive my best to provide a dynamic learning environment for all students. any assistance you can give will go a long way.
